    I agree 100%. My favorite part:

    "It is a game of anticipation, of pent-up frustration and anxiety that is released, if you're lucky, once or twice a game and sometimes not for weeks or months. The instant gratification of U.S. sports doesn't exist; no slam dunks every few minutes, no base hits, no first downs, no timeouts to release spectator energy. You sit and wait and stew, and hope.

    And then erupt."

    He also claims that the announced attendance was higher than the actual attendance.

    :eek: ZOMG it might have been only 75k!!!!ONEONE

    I think he was trying to say that the fandom is probably not there to support top-level soccer on a week-to-week basis, which is probably true, but he picked a pretty poor way to say it.
